An Easy Yoke.

sMy yoke is easy and my burden isif
light" said Christ, in announcing Hn
kingdom. When He came, remarks tho
Interior, He found men imposing heavy
burdens, and grievous to be borne, and
He rebuked them. They were to be !,
laid aside and no longer weary those
who entered into his kingdom. They
are no part of the Christian life. But
the tradition of the virture Of carrying
useless burdens for the sake of the
WEAKNESS and pain they give, stili sur
wives. Spiritual guides still insist upon
putting two stones in sack and fasten-ssl
ing them aboutme necks-to keep them
bowed down and humble. This done,
they seem to remember that Christian
ought to show spirit and cheerfulness,
therefore check is fastened to tho bits
and carried over the head to force the !
appearance Of "a spirited carriage. Neither
of these is in accordance with the laws
of Christ's kingdom-a kingdom of the
purest, highest, and sweetest liberty
Gods way of making Christian is to
fill him with the spirit, and then tell him
to work out his salvation in his own way,
giving him, however, His Word, which !
is at once an inexhaustible magazine Of
supplies, and a tower of light by which
his feet may be guided into safe and
pleasant paths. Recognizing this, car
dinal doctrine of our faith is, that ''God
alvne is Lord of the conscience" Tho
result is, that the Christian is in duty
bound to enlighten his conscience from
Gods Word, and then follow his con-
science. He is not bound to follow any
other mans conscience, nor tho con-
sciences of any assembly of mon. But
does not this justify man in wholly dis
regarding the burdens and restraints
which his church seeks to put upon him,
without plain positive warrant from
scripture9 1t undoubtedly does, aud
Christ intended that it should. The
Christian must answer for himself, aud
he must therefore be placed upon his
own responsibility, and must for himself
decide in regard to the right and
propriety of any act or course of con-
duct. The final arbiter is not the AS
sembly, Presbytery, session or pastor,
but his own conscience. But one of tho
chief graces of Christian character is
humility and teachableness. We arenot
to be wise in our conceit, nor to wan
tonly set up our private judgment against
the united opinions of generations Of
wise and devoted brethren. They may
be wrong. They may be binding tradi-
tional burdens without warrant from
Christ. But it is our duty to ourselves
as we'll as to God to defer to their judgc
mont until we have time to make aeafe-
full study of the authority they show for
it in the Scriptures. If we are sensible,
we will make large allowances for our
own liability to err, which is many times
as great as that Of large numbers of
good men whose judgments agree. We
should exercise extreme caution in set
ting aside their concurrent opinion.

When lot or, say, twenty CARLOADS
comes in, q small sack is file with
beans from all the cars and sent to the
inspector at st. LOUIS. He makes
report, giving the percentage of refuse,
and on the basis of this inspection the
entire cargo is taken and paid for at the
contract price if contracted for. and at
the ruling price at the exchange if other
wise. The beans are then hauled in
wagons having immense boxes which
hold 100 bushels, and are stored IN huge
bins in the factory.
The beans, to make oil, are put into
press snd the oil pressed out. This is
then pnt through course of rectifca:
ton. On an average one bushel OF
beans makes gallon of oil. Different
grades of beans make the different
grades of oil, which is not, as some
Suppose, used entirely for medicinal
purposes. The higher grades are made
up mostly in tin cans; the lubricating in
barrels. The oil works manufacture
1000 barrels a year. The works en-
pIoy sixteen hands and sell their goods
all over the United States, confining
their sales to wholesale houses in GUAM
titles MT less than fve-barrcl lots. Thes
pcmice or refuse of the castor beans
made use OF as fertilizer, great ouanti-
ties being skipped to Virginia and other
States for this purpose. 1t readily
brings s. and IS ton on the cars at
Eelleville. The same works manufac.
ture halr-oil out of hickory-nuts. The
oil is also used for burning in lamps, and
it is said that it will not smoke. 1t is
also claimed to be an excellent article
for cooking purposes.

COUNTED OUT.
Serious Accusation Made by the Admin

Serious Accusation Made by the Admin
istrafrix of r. G. Hodgdon's Estate.
In the general election of 1884 the late
Thomas G. Hodgdon and s. S. Hinsdall
were opposing candidates in Washington
precinct for the office of Supervisor of the
First District of Yolo county. According
to the count, Hodgdon was elected by
tested that their man had been counted out,
and a recount was demanded and had, ap-
parently verifying the original count, as it
increased Hodgdon's majority from seven
to eight. Hinsdalls friends then declared
that the ballots had been tempered with
prior to the recount, but the matter there
dropped. The Yolo Nail of yesterday says
that there is civil case now pending in
the Superior Court of. that county which
probably throws some light on the ques-
ton. 1t is a suit brought by Albert May,
of Washington precinct, to enforce the pay
ment of note for $500, made to him on
October %, 1885, by Thomas G. Hodgdon.
May sues Mrs. Hodgdon, the administra-
trix of her husbands estate. In her answer
to the complaint she alleges upon informa-
ton and belief there was and is no good
and valuable consideration for the $500
note, and that the circumstances through
which plaintiff May came into possession
of the note were as follows:
In the election, November, 1884, Thomas
G. Hodgdon ran against S. S. Hinsdall for
Supervisor in the First District. After the
returns of the ballots cast in Washington
precinct at that election had been trans
mitted TO the County Clerks Office at
Woodland, the plaintiff, May, secretly and
surreptitiously entered the Clerks office,
opened the package containing the Wash
ington ballots and erased the name of S. S.
Hinsdall on large number of said ballots
and placed the name of Thomas g. Hodg-
don thereon instead. Mrs. Hodgdon al
leges that these acts so done and performed
by May were the only consideration he has
to offer for the payment of the note for
$500 in question; and she further alleges
that at the time said promissory note was
alleged to have been made and delivered
that Hodgdon was sick in body and mind,
and drunk, and that by reason of his con-
ditiOn was incapable of transacting bust
ness, and that if May procured said note at
the alleged time the plaintiff, May, was
well aware of Hodgdon's inability and
drunkenness. Mrs Hodgdon files coun-
ter complaint asking Judgment against
May for $10S, alleged to be due on account
of money loaned and board furnished by
Hodgdon to May.

The Gambling Millennium.

1t is proposed by bill introduced in the
Legislature to civilize the people of the
Golden State, and the immigrants we are
urging TO come here from New England,
by making gambling an innocent pastime
by simply requiring small part of the
proceeds to be paid into the State by way
of license fees. 1t is to be hoped that when
this delectable condition of law and society
comes in, that the same law makers who
bring it to pass, will also provide against
such unfair division of = profits u as the
Enterprise shows one of the Honorable /"
member of the Nevada Legislature to be
guilty of in that State, where gambling is
made respectable ~ by statute. A CORE
spondent of the Enterprise says under the
head of "hogging:" lone legislator
struck it yesterday and last night. He got
after the faro game in Cap Avery's =" Hole
in-the- Wall " saloon, putting in $40, and
during a seance of ten hours he played so
unluckilv that he walked off 81, ITO loser.
Then he concluded to start little old faro
game OF his own, having q hundred or two
left, so he hired a professional friend to
run his game for him in the rear of another
saloon, as he didn't know how. The result
was that his friend won over 81, 400 from
500. And now this legislator objects to
honorably giving half his winnings to the
man who won the same. He offered him
SIS, but this was refused and the agent pro-
poses going in for what he can get. This
is an interesting feature among sporting

THE M'GLYNN CASE.

The debate concerning the George-Dr.
aIeGlynn episode continues, despite the
fact that the disc.plining of one of its
priests for an infraction of clerical rules is
> matter wholly domestic with the Catholic
Church. Bishop Corrigan's statement of
the case of DR.. McGlynn really puts the
later out of Court, and so far as public
concern goes, ends it. In brief, II the
Church, condemning oommunistic doc
srines as it does, failed to call DIR. Nc
Glynn to account, and permitted him.
While its priest, to utter sentiments such as
contained in his letter Of December 20th,
il woul stand commit d 10 doctrines that
we apprehend, no religious tsdy can IN
dorse. n that letter the priest wrote to
mis- bishop, in d, fiance of the Church, that

teach in speeches and writings, as long as
he lived, that land is rightfully the prop
erty of the people in common, and that
private ownership of land is against natural
justice, no matter by what civil or ecclesi-
astical laws it may be sanctioned To this
he added that he would confscate private
property in land without one penny of COM
pensation to the miscalled owners
After receiving this mlssive, what could
the Church of Rome do, holding as it does
the right and justice of private ownership
in land, but to suspend the priest? In
deed, as we have already said, the priest
who cannot conform to the doctrines and
ethics of the Church whose regalia he
wears, owes it to himself to leave the or
ganization, and there, as we look at it.,
the whole matter ends. The Church
does not believe as does DR.. hlcGlynn,
and, therefore, if it is to maintain
its own respect, must forbid him
indulging in such preaching. Thereafter,
what Rev. Mr.. McGlynn utters, becomes
only the expression of Mr.. McGlynn, lay
man. We fail, therefore, to see wherein
there is persecution or wrong done. The
Church of Rome had either to concur in
Mr.. McGlynn's communistic expressions
or repudiate them. There is but one way
for any church to do the latter. McGlynn,
as an intelligent man knows this, and what
he or his friends have to complain of is
not, therefore, clear to the lay mind. How
his private opinion becomes matter to so
stir up debate, any more than the opinion of
Jones, Smith or Brown, passes comprehen-
sion Nevertheless, we shall expect to
hear the George organs still shouting
" persecution" We will scarcely be classed
with apologists for the Catholic or any
other church, but in this matter, if that
religious body has not acted as any self
respecting organization would, we cannot
understand the ordinary ethics of society
membership. As the Chicago Herald terseIy
puts it:
The logic of Reorganization is subordination. Dis
obedience is Incompatible with an efficient union
and is subversive of all discipline. Unless the au-
thorty it creates is respected religious organiz-
alton cannot be maintained. The pro- oSition is
simple and obvious that when man i'll orders
finds his conscience or his interest at war with
the society which has commissioned him. he
should retire from the communion whose teach
ing he can no longer accept. If the power of
discipline were not exerted the church would
confess itself impotent, and, therefore. no
longer entitled either to authority or to respect.
1t is a question of life or death with the church
organization, and it prefers life.

Done in Self-Defense.

The Woodland Democrat says that aletter
was received in that place on Tuesday from
Fresno, containing the full details of the
shooting scarpe there, in which George D..
Fiske, Jr., of Woodland, shot and slightly
wounded C. C. jarrett. The letter states
that Jarrett had been following Mr.. Fiske
around all day trying to get him to engage
in a quarrel. He finally met Mr.. Fiske.
and pulling pistol fired at him. Fiske
Immediately drew his pistol and returned
the fire, infiicting painful though not
serious wound. He gave himself up to
the authorities and was almost immedi-
ately. liberated, upon filing bond in the
sum Of $1,000. 1t is stated on good author
ity that the case will never be called in the
Courts, as the prosecution readily see the
utter hopelessness of convicting Mr. Fiske
That gentleman's friends are much elated
at this successful issue of the case, and are
loud in expressing their approval of his
deed.

THE report of an engineer officer of the
Government is said TO expose a shameful
condition of our defenses in the bay of
San Francisco. The batteries on Angel
Island are useless, and all the guns no
better than "quakers." The magazines
and platforms have gone to decay, the
battery is wholly unserviceable, and the
shock of the first shot in any of them
would tumble the whole of the battery
accouterments TO the ground in hopeless
wreck. But the Government has known
all these facts long time. We are so
strong in our belief that our greatness
secures us from assault, that we are per-
hitting our means of defense to fall into
decay utterly regardless of the proven
maxim that readiness to repel attack is
the surest and most economical method of
preventing it.

A farmer from Hungry Hollow, Yolo
county, states that that section of the cour-
try is fairly overrun with wild geese. The
reason for this invasion of the feathered
tribe is doubtless the dry condition of the
tules where they usually stay This state
of affairs never happened before, save dur
ing the year 1871, which was very dry
year. What makes the grain an easy prey
to the geese is the fact that owing to the
dry season, the land is plowed only to the
depth of about six inches, and the geese
have no difficulty in finding it. At pres
ent there is large number of men
busily at work with guns, etc., ''herdingn
the geese from the grain fields. The farm
ers gladly welcome all sportsmen, and
cordially invite everyone to come up and
kill all the geese they wish.

IT seems to be settled that there will be
no anti-Chinese legislation by the present
Congress. The fact that the Administra-
ton is negotiating new treaty with
China is the dead weight upon the pend
ing bills. Our hope must therefore, for
the present, be placed upon the Conven-
ton between the United States and China.
We confess, however, that the action of
the Chinese Minister, his evident intention
to dictate terms, the Difference shown to
his opinions of what immigration we need
and what we do not need, give only little
hope of great good But if the new treaty
recognizes the restriction policy in any
form it will be a movement in advance of
the present compact since it is inconceiv-
able that any backward steps will be
taken.

The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the
nervous system, are the products of daily
renewed mental exhaustion. Business
avocations often involve an amount of
mental wear and tear very prejudicial to
physical health. and the professions, if ar
duously pursued, are no less destructive
to brain and nerve tissue. 1t is one of the
most important attributes of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters that it compensates for
this undue loss of tissue, and that it i'm
parts new energy to the brain and nerves.
The rapidity with which it renews weak
ened mental energy and physical vitality
is remarkable, and shows that its invigor-
ating properties are of the highest order
Besides increasing vital stamina and coun-
teracting the effects of mental exhaustion,
this potential medicine cures and prevents
fever and ague, rheumatism, chronic dys-
pepsia and constipation, kidney and uterine
weakness and other complaints. Physi-
clans also commend it as medieated slim
ulant and remedy.
